The collage above says: Eid Mubarak! Which I'd like to extend to you all and especially to the Umar family, from the bottom of my heart. This collage was inspired by my sister-girl, Kauthar Umar. She wrote my biography, featured below, and has encouraged me to continue on with all of my positive endeavors. I can't thank her and her family enough and certainly can't say enough good things about her. She is a multi-talented sister, a journalist, photgrapher, community-organizer, educator, motivator and special friend. Among many other things that she is blessed with, she is also the beautiful reflection of her tremendous parents, to whom I am forever endebted. Knowing this family is an honor and a pleasure.

The tunic above happens to be one item in my collection I have always imagined on Kauthar, with some nice wide-legged pants and a beautiful hijab. Her style is casual and sophisticated. So, this is a look for an artistic, professional sister on the move. I hope you like it. Do you?If you would like to order it, please scroll down to the link titled: "Wonderful Winter Wears", where it is featured in pink with plum trim and plum slacks.

The Safiya Tunic by Hijabi CoutureI wore the above tunic today and thought that it would be nice to share it with you. It's comfortable and falls in a flowy cascade from the ribcage down. It can be dressed up with slacks and heels and worn-down with some jeans and flats too. Once again, Hijabi Couture offers you a multi-functional flowing fashion for your wardrobe. To order, please see below. We also offer this in white with silver trim.

I especially love this clean and sleek Safari shirt because although it has a classic simplicity, it also has versatility. It can be worn as a shirt, or a dress, over slacks, leggings, a longer dress or a skirt. It can also be worn with the belt beautifully bowed in the front, side or the back; or, simply tied, or loosely tied, or not tied at all. Then as an added bonus - for all my nursing moms - you can open and close it easily, all the while looking lovely. It is available in red, pink, off-white with black buttons or off-white buttons, dark plum, black, kelly green, yellow, orange, turquoise and brown for the modest price of $35.00 USD. Our present sizes are Small (US SIZE 2-4), Medium (US SIZE 6-8), Large (US SIZE 10-12), X-Large (US SIZE 14-16) 2X-Large (US SIZE 18-20), 3X-Large (US SIZE 22-24)
